Part Two: Instructions to Contributors
General Suggestions
1, We expect to produce a report of roughly the same .length,
or only slightly longer, and in about the same level of generalization
as last year's final paper (IAC-D-55/13, Final, 2 September 1958).

That report in its final form was substantially shorter and less
detailed than those of the immediately preceding years. For that
reason, it obviously will not be possible to make specific mention
or detailed comments, as we did in the past, about certain of the
individual functional activities within the intelligence community
which contribute to the over-all status of the community. Never-
theless, we are continuing to solicit contributions f~ _rn as broad a
range of committees. and other components as in past years in order
to assist in assessing over-all trends and significa~_:.t i.r'ividual
developments worthy of mention in the final report.
2. Contributions should therefore be cast in a form which would
be most useful in production of a comparatively brief paper emphasizing
major developments during the past year, as well as significant
trends and principal emerging problems. Nevertheless, while is is
desirable for contributors to submit generalizations regarding 'weir.
activities appropriate for inclusion in a brief report, such contributions
should also include adequate background data to support the generaliza-
tions and to permit evaluation of their over-all significance.

III. Intelligence Capabilities by Area
The basic breakdown of this section will be by geographic area,
as indicated in the basic outline. Within eac 5. geographic area,
contributors should briefly assess their intelligence capabilities for
the various functional fields listed below in accordance with the
relative importance of the function or activity within that area. In
some areas, of course, a contribution may not be appropriate;
science in Africa, for example, obviously is not worthy of treatment
i,n a report of this length. Agencies and USIB Committees are re-
quested to contribute within the spheres of their primary collection
and production responsibilities even though not specifically listed
below as a suggested contributor. Coordination and consolidation of
contributions by relevant organizations and committees is encouraged
wherever such is feasible.
